The thing about this is that it's actually quite clever because it allows for gold buying but not gold selling. Gold sellers hack accounts and steal things because they can turn gold into cash. This doesn't do that, you can't convert the pet back into cash. It also doesn't introduce inflation the way that directly buying gold would do and is inherently limited by the market for the pet. Essentially it allows people to buy gold with pretty much zero consequences and within the scope of the game. Not too bad really.
